What is recorded here

Crannog in Carrick occupies the north end of Dooloughan Lough, a shifting water basin where a grassy stone mound emerges when the lake retreats. The place resembles a crannog only in behaviour, rising and disappearing with the rain rather than marking human construction. It is a living boundary between land and water, visible in some seasons and absent in others.

Located towards the N end of the oval turlough called Dooloughan Lough (max. dims c. 320m N-S; c. 150m E-W). This is a grass-covered, oval, stony mound (dims of base 17m E-W; 13m N-S; H 0.8-1m) rising above the usual level of the lake but with no evidence of artificial construction. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 23 September 2008
